Thrilled by the success of their summer collaboration, they decided to work their magic again for a second season. Ken predicts that “wine” is the color for fall, and — together with LMdB — has created three lip-and-nail duos on that theme. The nail polishes are in the larger “Ken-sized” bottles, and each duo is $49. Naturally, these sets are exclusive to Neiman Marcus.
The Red My Lips duo includes lipstick Red My Lips (a cherry-berry-wine) and nail polish Gypsy Rose Me (a beet-red with pink and magenta-violet shimmers).

The Bodacious Bordeaux duo includes Wine on the Vine lipstick (a sheer, maraschino cherry red. It’s the lightest of these three lipcolors, but — on my lips — still too dark and berry-ish for my tastes). Bodacious Bordeaux nail polish is my one of my favorite shades for fall: a semi-sheer claret, a classic cranberry/wine creme.

The lipsticks are a new formula for Le Metier, a “Moisture Lipstain.” How are they different from Color Core lipsticks? Well they do seem more sheer (though if you’re fair and wearing deep colors, it’s kind of a moot point). They have a balmy, comforting feel — the formula doesn’t have a lot of “slip”. And they’re not particularly staining.

Do these duos put you in a fall state of mind? Which one is your favorite?

Oh, they are divine. I’ve tried quite a few different LMdB products but never their lipsticks. The Red My Lips set is my favourite. The lipstick is a gorgeous colour and I think I may have drooled a bit over that nail varnish!
